To the developers, the single player campaign is too epic to mess with - so they had to make a few decisions when they decided to upgrade the game to include co-op.

Instead of just tacking on a second player that may or may not be involved in boss battles, or any other part of the story, Klei entertainment decided to create two separate campaigns to cover the co-op, as well as keep the brilliant single player experience intact.

Finding that delicate balance wasn't this teams only challenge, releasing on two separate platforms, and getting enough community involvement to justify "biting the bullet" to add co-op has also come about. Here's how you can help them help you: Become a fan of Shank on Facebook, and they'll give you a shiny free copy of the games soundtrack to enjoy.
